WWE releases statement on Brock Lesnar's 'one-off' opportunity to fight at UFC 200 on July 9

By now, fight fans have likely calmed down following the blockbuster news that Brock Lesnar would make his return to mixed martial arts (MMA) to compete at the monumental UFC 200 pay-per-view (PPV) event on July 9, 2016 in Las Vegas Nevada.

But don't get to comfortable with seeing "The Beast Incarnate" back inside the eight-walled cage, as his return will be a one-time thing, as WWE released a statement after granting Brock permission to fight for his old employers at ZUFFA.

Brock Lesnar remains under contract to WWE, however, he has been granted a one-off opportunity to compete at UFC 200.
